Why Aren’t You Cultivating Immortality? (GL) Chapter 31

The black figure stopped, but she did not turn back. Instead, she summoned a flying sword, as if she had stopped for some reason other than Bai Moqing calling Xiao Xing’s name.
“I know it is you.” Before Xiao Xing stepped onto the flying sword, Bai Moqing flew a few meters behind her and walked toward her step by step. “Your voice and your figure can both be changed, but your eyes cannot be hidden. With one glance, I can recognize you.”
Xiao Xing turned around. Her charming eyes were icy as she calmly looked at Bai Moqing. Bai Moqing stopped in front of her, raised her hand, pinched Xiao Xing’s mask, and under Xiao Xing’s gaze, slowly removed it.
Under the mask was that familiar face. If it was not her President Xiao, who else could it be?
Joy mixed with a trace of sourness surged into Bai Moqing’s heart. She hugged Xiao Xing and leaned against her shoulder.
Xiao Xing hesitated, then raised her hands and held Bai Moqing in her arms. Bai Moqing hugged her tightly. “Why did you save me again and again, but not let me know your identity?”
Not only had Xiao Xing refused to let her know, she had also tried hard to hide it whenever Bai Moqing noticed something. She would rather be injured by Bai Moqing than expose her identity.
“There is no need for you to know my identity.” Xiao Xing lowered her eyes.
Bai Moqing sensed Xiao Xing’s aura. It was powerful, with the lofty feeling of looking down on all living beings. The black immortal robe flowed with bright immortal energy. Bai Moqing released Xiao Xing, stepped back, and asked, “Xiao Xing, have you already reached true immortal cultivation?”
“No.” Xiao Xing raised her hand and stroked Bai Moqing’s cheek, smiling gently. “My cultivation is above that.”
The little orange cat changed back to its original size and squeezed to Bai Moqing’s side. It lifted its nose and sniffed Xiao Xing, then hurriedly hid behind Bai Moqing, tilting its head and looking at Xiao Xing with fear.
Xiao Xing could know what the little cat demon was thinking just by looking into its eyes. She withdrew her hand and said to Bai Moqing, “The secret realm will not close for another month. Go in that direction, and you can find a God-Slaying Cauldron.”
Bai Moqing was not interested in any God-Slaying Cauldron at all. Right now, she only wanted to follow Xiao Xing. “Are you going out?”
Xiao Xing nodded. “Mm.”
“I will go out with you.”
Bai Moqing had never known there would be a day when she could be this thick-skinned. Without asking Xiao Xing’s wishes, she directly held Xiao Xing’s hand.
“You are not looking for heavenly treasures anymore?” Xiao Xing glanced at their joined hands and gently held Bai Moqing back.
“I have already found the best thing.”
As soon as Bai Moqing finished speaking, the little orange cat meowed unhappily. Do not think it could not hear it. Bai Moqing was saying sweet words to Xiao Xing!
Too much!
It climbed up Bai Moqing’s shoulder, huffed at Xiao Xing, and shouted, “Bai Moqing is mine!”
Even if it was scared, it still had to declare ownership.
Xiao Xing swept it with a cold look. She reached out and grabbed the back of the little orange cat’s neck. The little orange cat waved its claws, but with its weak spot held, it could not scratch Xiao Xing no matter what.
Smack. Xiao Xing threw the little orange cat onto the ground. “I am taking Bai Moqing to get the God-Slaying Cauldron. Wait for us here.”
After saying that, whether the little orange cat agreed or not, she directly took Bai Moqing and left.
After they left, the black-scaled flood dragon hiding in the abyss carefully poked out its head. It looked around twice and saw the little orange cat.
The little orange cat angrily pulled and bit at the green grass on the ground. Bite off, spit out, scrape with claws, dig a hole. It looked like it had gone mad.
The flood dragon shrank its body until it was about the same size as the little orange cat, then slowly crawled toward it.
The little orange cat was very sensitive. It turned its head, meowed, and showed the flood dragon its sharp claws.
The flood dragon changed its arrogant attitude from before. It moved back a few steps and gave two low cries. The little orange cat meowed, arched its body, and prepared to pounce.
“Do not, do not fight.” Discovering that dragon and cat languages did not match, the flood dragon quickly switched and spoke human words.
The little orange cat tilted its head. “Female?”
The flood dragon: “…Mm, female.” Its voice was a little low, but it was clearly a woman’s voice.
White light rose from its body. The scales on the flood dragon turned into smooth skin, and it slowly became a tall woman. She had bronze skin and a tight, flat lower belly. Below the dark grass, her female features were clear. Above that, her chest was flat, her collarbones distinct. Higher up, her features were delicate, and on closer look, full of heroic spirit.
The little orange cat shook its fur and also changed into human form. Its gaze swept over the flood dragon again. Then it pushed out its proud chest. “I am female too.”
The place Xiao Xing brought Bai Moqing was the former Divine Terrace, a place where gods once gathered.
A long river flowed beside them. Along the bank stood countless jade pillars and divine palaces. Bai Moqing remembered this river. She had been here before. But the palaces along the riverbank were the first time she had seen them.
Xiao Xing saw the confusion in her eyes and explained, “The Divine Terrace has a barrier. Only by entering from the correct place can you see it.”
“Divine Terrace?” So the Qiongcang Secret Realm truly was a divine realm ruin. Bai Moqing looked at Xiao Xing in shock. Xiao Xing had found the Divine Terrace with familiar ease, stepped onto the jade stairs without any fear, and entered the divine hall as if it were nothing. Xiao Xing was not a cultivator, but…
Xiao Xing entered the divine hall and noticed Bai Moqing frozen in place. She looked back and said, “The God-Slaying Cauldron is inside. Come try and see whether you can take it.”
Seeing Bai Moqing’s suspicion, Xiao Xing said without changing expression, “I have been here before and took away many things. Only that God-Slaying Cauldron could not be taken by any method.”
Those words did not dispel Bai Moqing’s doubts. Bai Moqing still suspected Xiao Xing’s true identity.
At the top of the great hall stood a nine-step jade platform. One could walk up the platform from all four directions. At the center of the platform sat a dark-gold cyan cauldron half as tall as a person.
Xiao Xing stepped over the stairs and walked beside the dark-gold cyan cauldron. She raised her hand, and white light appeared in her palm. She tried to control the cauldron. The cyan cauldron burst with dazzling green light. Xiao Xing leaped backward off the jade platform, facing the cauldron as she landed. She stumbled two steps before steadying herself.
Bai Moqing stood at the hall entrance and saw every movement Xiao Xing made. After steadying herself, Xiao Xing turned to Bai Moqing and said, “That is the God-Slaying Cauldron. It can shake the heavenly gods in all directions. No matter who possesses it, even gods can be killed.”
“Your previous Heaven-Shattering Cauldron was only used to worship heaven and earth. Compared with this cauldron’s power, it cannot match even a fraction of it.” Xiao Xing walked toward the jade platform again. “Bai Moqing, do you want to try?”
Bai Moqing walked to Xiao Xing’s side. “Even you cannot take it. How could I possibly take it?” She lifted her head and looked at the God-Slaying Cauldron. The divine cauldron gave off a dim green light, which was somewhat similar to the glow in her palm when she controlled a cauldron.
“Everything here has its destined owner. I am not the person with fate for this cauldron.” Watching Bai Moqing walk up the steps, a trace of sadness flashed through Xiao Xing’s eyes. Then it was replaced by a smile.
Bai Moqing easily controlled the God-Slaying Cauldron. A thread of aura and divine sense entered the cauldron. The divine cauldron slowly shrank, becoming the size of a wine cup before flying onto Bai Moqing’s palm. Green light flashed. Bai Moqing closed her fist, and the divine cauldron hid inside her body.
Bai Moqing turned back. Xiao Xing stood below, watching her. Her focused gaze was gentle as water. Bai Moqing walked down the stairs and stood face-to-face with Xiao Xing. “President Xiao, you helped me find such a good thing. Should I repay you with my body?”
“You can also repay me by working like an ox or horse.”
Xiao Xing brought Bai Moqing away from the Divine Terrace. In the blink of an eye, they returned to the abyss. The moment they landed, Bai Moqing was shocked by the sight before her.
Two naked women sat close together on the grass, hugging their knees. Bai Moqing did not know what they had been talking about, but they were laughing so hard their bodies shook. Bai Moqing recognized one of them. It was the little orange cat who lived in her home. As for the other woman…
“Feiyue!” Bai Moqing called the little orange cat. She had to ask Feiyue to know who the other woman was.
The little orange cat heard her and turned back. Seeing Bai Moqing, it got up and ran toward her. Its bouncing chest made even Xiao Xing, who had seen plenty in life, turn her head away in shock.
Bai Moqing was used to the little orange cat’s body. She took a wide-sleeved robe from her storage ring and wrapped it around Feiyue. “Why are you not wearing clothes again?”
The tone of those words sounded somewhat doting to others.
Xiao Xing turned back and narrowed her eyes. If she remembered correctly, Bai Moqing had walked toward the little cat demon just now without avoiding her gaze at all.
Without Xiao Xing knowing, how many times had Bai Moqing seen that little cat demon’s body?
The other naked woman slowly walked over with some apology still on her face. Xiao Xing saw that she was the flood dragon from the abyss and frowned. When the flood dragon saw Xiao Xing looking at her, she became a little afraid and leaned closer to Feiyue.
Without a word, Bai Moqing took out another piece of clothing and covered the flood dragon with it. Then she turned to Feiyue. “Who is she?”
“She is…” Feiyue felt the flood dragon tugging at the corner of her clothes. She paused and said, “I will tell you after we get home.”
Home? This woman was obviously the same kind as the little orange cat, also a demon. Since the little orange cat refused to tell her identity, Bai Moqing used divine sense to examine her and saw that her true form was the flood dragon. She took two steps back.
Was this flood dragon not the one that had just fought them? How had these two demons become friendly in the blink of an eye?
The flood dragon wrapped the clothes tighter around herself and said shyly, “I am the flood dragon from the abyss.”
The little orange cat wanted to bring the flood dragon home. Obediently, it pulled Bai Moqing’s sleeve and said, “Her name is Yun Su. She has stayed alone in the abyss for more than ten thousand years. Can we bring her home?”
Xiao Xing spoke coldly. “She must stay in the secret realm.”
No matter how obediently or cutely the little orange cat begged, it could not beat Xiao Xing’s simple sentence. Bai Moqing refused the little orange cat at once.
The little orange cat pouted and looked pitifully at Bai Moqing. Xiao Xing said coldly again, “If you like her so much, you can stay here and keep her company.”
Stay here? The little orange cat quickly changed back into a cat, jumped onto Bai Moqing, and burrowed into her arms. It poked its head out and looked at Xiao Xing. “I only like Qingqing. Wherever Qingqing goes, I go.”
Xiao Xing was angry, but she could not show it. Still, her face grew a few degrees colder and betrayed her feelings. Xiao Xing turned and left the Qiongcang Secret Realm first.
Bai Moqing glanced at Yun Su and followed her out.
After leaving the secret realm, Bai Moqing sent the little orange cat home, then turned and went to the company. She wanted to find Xiao Xing.
An Huaigu walked out of the office with newly printed documents, preparing to find Xiao Xing. Seeing Bai Moqing, she called out and asked, “Little Bai, you are still here?” Bai Moqing had vanished for so long that An Huaigu thought she had left.
“Mm.”
Seeing An Huaigu, Bai Moqing remembered something. She could not just go find Xiao Xing like this.
